i always enjoyed and learned something from your posts back in the dAY, and the occasional ones i would catch more recently.

some great minds just cant handle themselves - rip.

my heart goes out to you & yours.

His detox/ guide saved my skin and gave me a solid template to work from when i needed to go through WDs. Never met or spoke to him, but his advice helped me get through some dark days.

Hugs to his friends and family.

RIP PhreeX, maybe we'll meet at the great gig in the Sky.

So sad, I remember reading about his OD in 2003 and hoping he would wake up from his coma. And now, he's gone

R.I.P.

RIP Dave and my thoughts go out to the family and friends.

I "met" him at a small newsgroup in the late 1990's and his posts kept the group laughing constantly.

He was smart and funny. What a waste and a sorrow to hear of his death.

Wow this is terrible. Although I ever knew him personally, PhreeX was seriously one of my favorite bl'ers. He was such an intelligent person and one the best mods we've ever had.

RIP

I just saw this thread.
I'm sorry to hear about this.
I wasn't good friends with Phreex, but on occasion we spoke.
Mostly its just a shock to see that hes passed because I started reading/posting at bluelight when i was about 14/15 years old, and Phreex's posts always stood out, whether he was flaming someone, making a joke, or giving good (or bad ) advice.
To me this is a reminder that even the biggest egos fall if they're not careful.
Rip, and lets hope everyone can learn to be a little bit more careful from this.

What a terrible loss, he was one of the most switched on, informed and educated drug users i've ever come across via messageboards.

RIP dude.

I only just found out about this...how sad and tragic

Dave died on 27 August from a fentanyl overdose. He'd had several overdoses recently, but i'm not going to speculate about whether or not it was intentional. I had spoken to him earlier that morning (he made some posts here too), as he was waiting for the pharmacy to open...

He'd IM'd me that day too...it was 27th August at 9.32am for him and he seemed happy...
